第175句：

High scores on the GRE helped explain who got in; degrees of prestigious universities didn't.

在GRE考試中獲得的高分有助于解釋誰能人選，而名校的學(xué)位則不一定。

六級(jí)詞匯講解:

本句由兩個(gè)分句構(gòu)成，第一個(gè)分句的主干是...scores... helped explain...，其中who got in為賓語從句，充當(dāng)explain的賓語；第二個(gè)分句的主干是degrees...didn’t，省略了謂語help。

get in在句中意為“被錄取；進(jìn)入”。如：

The football player can get in any team.

這名足球運(yùn)動(dòng)員有能力在任何球隊(duì)中立足。

prestigious意為“享有聲望的”。如：

She won a prestigious literary prize when she was 47.

她四十七歲時(shí)獲得了一項(xiàng)頗具聲望的文學(xué)獎(jiǎng)。
